‘EMPTY BARREL’ A RACIST TERM ACCORDING TO DICTIONARY DEFINITION’S MEANING, SAYS FREDERICA WILSON



The battle between White House Chief of Staff John Kelly and Representative Frederica Wilson continues after Kelly called Wilson an “empty barrel.” As seen in the below video, Wilson spoke of an “empty barrel” of a woman who made a lot of noise as a barrel but was empty. According to Newsweek, Wilson has viewed Kelly’s “empty barrel” term as a racist one, with Wilson claiming to have viewed the dictionary definition of the term as racist.
Wilson initially called President Donald Trump a man who didn’t know how to properly console widow Myeshia Johnson, and Kelly jumped to Trump’s defense in an emotional press conference that referenced the death of Kelly’s own son. However, with Kelly using the “empty barrel” term, Wilson claims that the back-and-forth jabs turned racial. Dictionary definitions of the term “empty barrel” are difficult to find since the phrase “empty barrel” is a two-word term. Dictionaries define the meanings of the words “empty” and “barrel” separately, with limited definitions of the term “empty barrel” being found online.
According to Quora, “empty barrel” was referenced by Shakespeare when the Bard used a similar term upon writing that “an empty vessel makes the loudest sound.” However, the old term could have originated with Plato when noting that loud empty vessels have the least wit but are the greatest babblers. However, others point to the Romans as the originators of a term related to an “empty barrel” when they noted that “empty pots make the most noise.”
Whoever came up with the “empty barrel” terminology, it is meant to be an insult, meaning the person is loud without much content. However, there were no readily findable definitions that deemed “empty barrel” as a racist term. Wilson denied being in Congress when funding for the building at the center of the “empty barrel” comment was appropriated. It wasn’t the first time that Kelly had used the “empty barrel” term, according to Fox News. Kelly got the “empty barrels” term from his mother.

POLITICS Sarah Huckabee Just Caught MSNBC Reporter in a Lie, Then Exposed Her For Who She Really is

Image
During this day there was a press briefing in the White House. The reporters started a conversation in which they shared many untrue statements about the fake dispute between President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Rex Tillerson. However, the White House press secretary Sara Huckabee couldn’t stand it anymore and had to push back the provocations. As per Subject Politics, the secretary got nourished up from all the false allegations shared from MSNBC Reporter Hallie Jackson. The things warmed up when Huckabee got an inquiry from Jackson with respect to the joke told from President Trump, about how he and Tillerson took an IQ test. Sarah Huckabee answered: “Again, he wasn’t questioning the Secretary of State’s intelligence.   He made a joke.   Maybe you guys should get a sense of humor and try it sometime.   He simply made a joke.    He has been extremely clear time and time again, despite the fact that you guys want to continue to bring this up and cre

EPIC: Hillary Clinton is FREAKING OUT About What Judge Pirro Just Said On Live TV

Image
Bill and Hillary Clinton have repeatedly lied to the American people, making them both unfit to return to the White House, Judge Jeanine Pirro said on “Justice” last night. She pointed out that Bill was impeached for perjury and obstruction of justice, only escaping an indictment by accepting a penalty short of criminal conviction. She added that Hillary has been investigated for everything from the Rose Law Firm to Whitewater to cattle futures to her private email server. And that’s not even going into the controversies surrounding the Clinton Foundation, Judge Jeanine said. “So what should we Americans reasonably believe? Nothing that they say,” Judge Jeanine said. “The Clintons repeatedly violate our standard of truthfulness and honesty.” “So should these people be trusted to run this country? Should Hillary Clinton be trusted to run for president of the United States? Should the Clintons be trusted to go back into the White House? The answer is positively, ab

BREAKING: Obama BUSTED After Massive Raid – Damning Secret Revealed to Public After 6 Years

Image
This past Wednesday, CIA director Mike Pompeo announced the release of “nearly 470,000 additional files,” including Osama bin Ladin’s journal, that former President Barack Obama has been hiding. The files in question were recovered during the raid that killed bin Ladin in May of 2011. At the time of the raid on the Abbottabad, Pakistan, compound, Obama’s national security adviser Tom Donilon spoke many times about the massive amount of intelligence that was brought back from Pakistan by the U.S. Navy SEALs who carried out the mission. The CIA operatives in attendance described the amount being large enough to fill a “small college library.” A senior military intelligence official who briefed reporters at the Pentagon on May 7, 2011, said, “As a result of the raid, we’ve acquired the single largest collection of senior terrorist materials ever.” But later in Obama’s presidency all this only amounted to 571 documents? Hardly enough to fill a small library. Where were the do
